@tooblue what's your thoughts on miyabi standard?
If this pandemic doesn't finally kill my cartridge, nothing will
I have an ancient Linn Arkiv B cartridge. I've known now for a few years that sooner or later, the thing will simply quit on me. I've probably listened to more vinyl in the last month than in the preceding year. If this doesn't finally do in my Arkiv B, it will last until the next millennia.

I do not own the Hana ML but have heard someone compare it to the Miyabi Standard that I do own and am just hoping for the best. Enjoy the music not sure who it is, can't believe it Last Miyabi was made for 47 Labs (Sakura Systems) before Takeda-San retired (review is here), now only Fuuga made under impression of Miyabi. Not sure that Excel Sound hana can compete with Miyabi (any of them). |
Miyabi is legendary hand made cartridge from Takeda. State of the art LOMC (imo). Hana is relatively cheap mass production cartridge from the company called Excel Sound in Japan. I have at least 3 different models from Excel Sound (OEM) and they are all completely different from Miyabi Standard and MCA which i own. Fuuga is $8000 cartridge inspired by Miyabi and made by a person who knew Takeda-San. |
